I am encouraged in the Lord.
“For surely there is an end; and your expectation will not be cut off.”
For those of us who are hoping, working as hard as we can and how we can and where we can. For those of us who are holding on to the promise. Please take heart. God is faithful to complete what He has begun. God is not a respecter of persons. When I look at my friends, and enemies????, and see progress in their lives, allow grace for me o Lord to be encouraged. And to NEVER forget your Word to me.
What YOU carry is for YOU. It doesn’t look like your mother, father, brother, sister or friend. It walks and talks and behave like YOU, so please stop waiting for someone and something else to show up.
And though it is cliché, in this moment, and the however many to come, mountain top or valley, Glynnis, keep hope alive.
God bless and take care

Day 11
When the year begins with such hope and so much energetic optimism, I expect EVERYTHING to fall neatly into place. That life will now make complete sense, and everything that was a struggle last year will now be, for all intents and purposes, a breeze.
I make plans, which is nothing unusual, I always make plans. And dream. And fantasize. But this year, for the first time in my LIFE, all things are possible. So, as I encourage myself please take courage yourselves. I know the truth of my life, I am doing all that I can, and I am hoping and praying, applying blind PASSIONATE faith to all things, and forging forward. Today I will speak of nothing else. IT IS WELL.
It IS well.
God bless and take care

Whatever you call it, prayer, meditation, being still…that time is such a powerful way in which to begin the year. I am so grateful for prayer. I am grateful for the full body cleanse, we humans are somewhat obsessed with those. I feel…calm, still and I know when I am starting to think nonsense about myself and others once I get my pray on and get Spiritually covered.
Now, I am a Christian, so when I say Spiritually Covered, I mean it. So now to Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ever think or imagine, be glory and honour, forever and ever. Amen
So I started off the year right, with my Lord Jesus, talking and cuddling up, and generally being needy and clingy. It’s been just Him and I for a very long time. Or at least, I thought it had been. It turns out, there is much of my world and my life I had not seen because I had been blinded by my pain.
So this year opens with many, many blessings. And a few very significant ones. I KNOW now whom I love, loves me. It’s hard to see that when the love is not expressed in my language, i.e. the language that I speak. But it is not MY love to express, it is a gift that I must translate.
I say all this to say, I have an entire family of love as a gift this New Year. And with it, all these wonderful things that every person needs in order to succeed. Confidence, self worth, LOVE that singes through my soul to my spirit, hope for everyday and amazingly, I KNOW this is it, this is THE year. So,
Good dawn to you 2014

So I’ve been rehearsing ….
Have you ever had one of those days when you took a slight, and I mean SLIGHT inventory of your life’s achievements so far, and then stepped back swiftly to look up at the Lord and beg, sometimes vocally, for some crumbs to fall from His table onto your ground level. Or maybe some drops of blessings to fall on you. Because the entirety of your existence has been spent paddling like a crazed duck under the water, and gliding like a fat goose over it. The amount of work, and prayer, and hope you put in seems to have a chronic imbalance in return. Hmmmm
I wonder if this is what faith is for? For these glory days when we are gathering up in training an experience, what we will need for action and effectiveness in the promised days to come. The fact, the TRUTH is, if you care walking in God’s promise for your life, and you will know this because you will have asked Him about it before you took the step, or as you took the step, or NOW. 🙂 But if you are walking in His promise you will get there, one day. It’s just that days like today make one day seem so far away. And for those days, God speaks to a little African woman and tells her to say hey to you. So here I go, Hey, it’s only one more day, that just means that the promised day is that one day closer neh? (neh is Southern African for right?)
I love you

I just had a thought. One of those thoughtd that seems very profound at half past two in the morning. it comes to mind that everyone expects Christians to be nice people, even Christians expect Christians to be nice people. I keep having to remind myself
“The church is a hospital, a corporate therapy session. Only people who are sick go to the hospital, and they leave once they are cured. Every Christian Believer I know is still going to church. hmmm”

God bless and take care my loves.

Prayer- The not so secret art of warfare. I am learning a significant and painful truth at the moment. What that truth is, is not so important. The lesson I am learning from it is important. Prayer is one of the most powerful weapons we have as human beings. It calms the mind and allows us to focus, to arrow in on the important issues of the day. If we allow it, we are given comfort in the clarity we receive. And we can feel ourselves changing, moving forward into our better selves.
Hmmm, our better selves. That sounds quirky and mystical, but I keep thinking lately that there will only ever be one me. Only one. The world will never see me again once I am gone to the next plane. What needs to be done by me may well get done by someone else, God always makes a way, but it will not be done in that unique way that only I can do it.
when I think like that. And I think of you. And I think of prayer. I cannot help feeling calm. Balanced, in this moment. There will only ever be one. So I pray for peace, calm, strength, focus and fulfillment for both of us. May we always bless each other, may we never cause each other pain, and may we comfort each other throughout this journey. Prayer. Calm. Focus. In a world of confusion, it is the ultimate weapon of defense.
God bless and take care
